Abandoned Wife Pastoral General Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 18 Finding Potatoes
Lin Xi slapped the candied haws horizontally and handed them to his son's mouth: "Taste the taste first. I'll eat later when I go back. There are too many people here."

"So sweet!" The little guy nodded cutely, sticking out his little tongue and licking his lips.

After turning a few streets, the basket was almost full.Several people alternated and recited a few times. Lin Xi held the list in his hand and got it right. Winter melon, pork ribs, pork belly, pig blood, and chicken wings were all bought.Not even potatoes.Didn't this dynasty have potatoes?She is depressed.

"My lady, what else is there?" Brother Liu arched his back covered in sweat.

"It's still short of potatoes. It's about the size of an egg, with yellow skin and flesh. Have you ever seen it?" Lin Xi gestured with both hands.

"That? Let me think about it." Brother Liu leaned his back against the wall, frowning and thinking hard.A few people stood under the shade of the tree boredly, stretching out their hands to pat the green leaves to play.Lin Xi's bright eyes gradually dimmed and when he was about to give up, he suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered. Grandma Liu's family in my village planted some. He had a son who often traveled around with the big boat and brought back a lot of foreign ones. seed."

"Let's go, let's go find her now." Brother Liu vigorously shook the straps on his shoulders.

"Let me carry it for a while." Lin Xi held the edge of the basket.

"It's okay." Brother Liu gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"You are still a child. Do you have Twelve?" Lin Xi pulled the back basket from him.

"Girl, I'm just twelve today, and my name is Liu Cheng. I'm the eldest in my family, and there are three younger siblings and a sick old mother." As he spoke, his eyes gradually turned red, and his voice was a little astringent.

"Where's your father?"

"Him?" Liu Cheng snorted heavily, and said bitterly, "He didn't care about us for a long time. As far as I can remember, he beat my mother and us every day, or went to the widow horse in the next village. "

Scumbag.Lin Xi cursed secretly.Seeing that she was silent, Liu Cheng realized that he had said something that should not be said, and smiled embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I"

"It's okay," Lin Xi interrupted him, "Everyone always encounters a few scumbags."

"Thank you for understanding. I have nothing to say, and I don't know why I told you all of a sudden today." He pulled the corner of his clothes and let out a heavy breath.

"Are you feeling better now?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.

"Ah."

"Did you ask someone to see your mother's illness?" Lin Xi asked while walking.

"I found someone to look at it. I haven't paid my wages yet, and I still owe money for medicine."

"Who did you ask to see?"

"The old doctor in the village."

"Go to Xinglin Tianxia just now to find Dr. Du. I have some friendship with him. When the time comes, just say it's what I said. Pay back the medicine money slowly when you have money." Lin Xi liked this clever idea very much. Liu Cheng, who was born in Beijing, sympathized with his experience very much.I even hate the scumbag who is eating from a bowl and looking at a pot.

"Thank you sister, thank you sister." Liu Cheng stood in front of Lin Xi and bowed respectfully.

Lin Xi dodged and said, "I see you call me sister, and you haven't asked Dr. Du to see it yet. You're so polite."

Walking to the end of the street, an old woman with gray hair was sitting on the side of the road with a bamboo basket, her head hanging, motionless.

"Grandma, business is here." Liu Cheng trotted to the old woman and said happily.

"Really?" Granny Liu raised her thick eyelids and looked around.

"Grandma, hello, how do you buy these potatoes?" Lin Xi put down the basket, rubbed the ground and pointed to the potatoes in the basket.

"You want to buy it?" Grandma Liu asked in a trembling voice in disbelief.

"Yes, grandma, I want all of these." Lin Xi picked out one at random and looked at it. The small ones are just right for planting next year.

"Okay, girl, then I'll buy it for you at a cheaper price. Two cents a catty." Granny Liu weighed the scale deftly.

"It's 32 catties in total, and the girl is 64 Wen." Granny Liu counted with her fingers.

"Okay, grandma, what other seeds do you have at home? Can you sell some to me?" Lin Xi asked while paying.

"There are a lot of them. They were all brought back by my youngest son when he went out to run a boat. They are piled up at home and they are about to grow bugs." Granny Liu complained with a smile.

"Bring them over next time. If I want, I'll bring some of everything." Lin Xi added.

"it is good"

"This is a deposit of one tael of silver." Lin Xi put a tael of silver in Grandma's hand.

"Girl, I can't help it. I haven't given you anything yet. How dare I take your money." The old man pushed Lin Xi's hand.

"It's okay, I believe Liu Cheng." Lin Xi said, and was in trouble again, "How can I pick it back?"

"Grandma, can I bring the basket back for you when I go home this afternoon?" Liu Cheng discussed with Grandma Liu.

"Okay. I'll trouble you then. Chengwazi. Granny Liu stood up tremblingly, and patted Brother Liu on the shoulder.

"Xi'er, you hold Chenbao, and I'll pick it." Zhang Qijie put Chenbao on it, and put the pole on his shoulders.

"Mother, I can go by myself." The little guy said sensible.

"Let me choose." Lin Xi tried the weight with one hand, and cut Zhang Qijie's words decisively.

"I will carry the basket. Mr. Zhang is a scholar, so you don't need to do these things. My sister takes this shortcut, and there are few people." Liu Cheng stretched out his finger to a small path.Lin Xi controlled her strength well, and wobbled to the front.
